Heroic Games Launcher not finding other drives (solved)

I have 2 relevant drives. The system drive, and a drive with my game files. The drive with the game files is mounted. However, it is not displayed under “Other devices” and I am unable to select it from /dev/

Installed it using yay from AUR (aur/heroic-games-launcher-bin 2.14.1-1).

Any ideas as to what may be causing this, or how to go about troubleshooting?

For those who have this problem and have installed Heroic as a flatpak, remember to add the path of the storage you are trying to access to the directories allowed by Heroic using tools like Flatseal.

Cynthia,

Can you post the solution please?

Just in case other people have the same situation.

Lemmyvisitor,

yeah, nothing worse than finding someone with the exact same issue and the last post is just “thanks guys I solved it” and nothing else

Well, I figured the comment that helped me would help others as well. The solution was to look in /mnt not /dev.

The drive with the game files is mounted.

Where is it mounted? Try navigating to that mountpoint, not to the device itself.

Yeah, I guess this is a typical linux noob pitfall. That worked, thanks!

Might want to update your post with [Solved] as well just to help others

Doesn’t the title say “(solved)”?

Edit: I realize this comment reads a bit passive aggressive, but I’m genuinely curious. Or are the square brackets important?

It does now! Must have taken a bit before my instance got the update… Or … I didn’t see it because of my client

I see, fair enough ^^
